I took my 4-month old to be immunised last night, and they gave him 3 big needles. He cried so much, poor thing, I am so sorry.

I still cry when my baby gets shots

awww... it's horrible but necessary huh?

I mean he's a baby! At least they could use baby sized needles!

Yes, I have to remember that a life threatening illness and trip to hospital would be far worse.

awww...poor lil guy!

I have a friend who has had good luck breastfeeding (and I suppose bottle feeding would work equally well) during vaccinations. It still hurts, but the distraction helps a lot.

just be thankful that its only every 3 months, my daughter is/was every 28 days, shes so used to needles at 20 months that she doesnt even cry, now thats worse

poor thing, i hate taking my children to get jabs but it's worth it
